UPDATE: Paolo Banchero has been ruled out. 

UPDATE: Paolo Banchero is a game-time decision (h/t Jason Beede of Sentinel Sports).   

On Tuesday evening, the Orlando Magic will host the Brooklyn Nets in Florida.  

For the game, the Magic could be without their best player, as Paolo Banchero is on the injury report.   

The 2024 NBA All-Star missed the team's last game, so this would be his second straight out of the lineup (if he doesn't play).   

Via Underdog NBA: "Paolo Banchero (illness) listed questionable for Tuesday."

Banchero is in his second season in the league and is averaging 22.7 points, 6.8 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 1.0 steals per contest while shooting 45.6% from the field and 36.4% from the three-point range in 57 games.   

The Magic are the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference with a 32-26 record in 58 games.  

They are 7-3 over their last ten games and most recently lost to the Atlanta Hawks by a score of 109-92.

Following the Nets, the Magic will remain at home to host John Collins and the Utah Jazz on Thursday evening in Orlando, Florida. 

At home, they have gone 18-8 in 26 games. 

As for the Nets, they are the 11th seed in the Eastern Conference with a 22-35 record in 57 games. 

They are 3-7 over their last ten games and most recently beat the Memphis Grizzlies by a score of 111-86. 

Dennis Schroder led the way with 18 points, two rebounds and five assists. 

Following the Magic, the Nets will return home to host Dejounte Murray and the Hawks at Barclays Center on Thursday evening in New York.
